I’m a fair-skinned Irish/German guy who’s had dark circles under my eyes since I was a teen. I remember being so self-concious about them that I often used my moms concealer at times.
I was told I could be anemic, but my educated guess says it’s probably a specific gut issue along with a lack of sleep.
Now days, they’re still dark, but a little more puffy and swollen underneath.
I recently had treatment for salivary gland cancer which included have my facial nerves cut, I thought the lack of nerve function may be the reason for the reduction in “bruising” and swelling - and it may be, but there’s something else.
The nerve work reduced the ability of my right eye to blink effectively, and it gets dry and irritated.
I’ve been using Zaditor eye drops with the antihistamine Ketotefin in that eye. Could consistent TLR4 and Serotonin antagonists directly in the eyes reduce swelling and the dark circles??
